A white-sheet wrap with felt salmon and pom-pom wasabi. The wasabi is the detail that gets the laugh. Forty minutes, easy: a white bedsheet or large white t-shirt, dark green felt, and pink or orange felt. Wrap the green felt like seaweed, overlapping, not like a belt.

Common questions
How do you wear a bedsheet without it falling off?
Wear a white t-shirt under it and safety-pin the sheet at both shoulders like a toga. Belt it with the seaweed wrap so it cannot unwrap.
Will the waistband be comfortable all night?
Keep the band snug but loose enough to sit down in. Pinning instead of gluing lets you adjust it, and felt has a little give.
